>CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Fitch Ratings expects U.S. life insurers will report a material increase in credit related losses on commercial mortgage loans in 2010 and 2011. This projection is in contrast to Fitch’s expectations for moderating investment losses across all other major asset classes. To the extent that commercial mortgage loan losses are contained within Fitch’s base case loss projections, further downgrades of the ratings on U.S. life insurers should be limited.
Realized losses in 2009 on directly placed mortgages totaled $1.5 billion, or 0.46%, versus Fitch’s base case loss projections of approximately $6 billion, or 2% over the cycle, implying additional losses of $4 billion to $5 billion to be taken in 2010 and 2011.
